Radiotherapy is administered with the assumption that all patients respond similarly to radiation although radiosensitivity does vary from patient to patient, resulting in different degrees of early and late effects. Because the dose given to a patient is limited by the response of normal tissue in

We recently reported, in a series of patients receiving total body irradiation before transplant, an influence of dose rate (DR) on cataract formation. The aim of our present in vitro study was to investigate the influence of DR and the mechanisms of lens cell death in a bovine model. After a single
## Abstract We have previously reported the antimetastatic effects and augmentation of immune responses, which would be a mechanism of the antimetastatic effects, of 0.1 to 0.2 Gy total body irradiation. To elucidate the cellular mechanisms of the augmentation of immune response, we investigated th
